I would ask you to develop further in an article (OK, maybe a long one). We need to understand the debt/deficit and/or tax/entitlement implications of our current spending, even if it is "limited" to the federal level. I can think of few commentators more competent, balanced, meticulous, and effective at communication than you are to tackle the topic. I think you would be doing your readership (and many beyond this blog) a great favor if you tried to tackle it with your actuarial and financial expertise. Don't stop now!
